Cyanocobalamin 1% Feed Grade
CAS Number: 68-19-9
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 1% is an essential cobalt-containing vitamin critical for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, nervous system maintenance, and methyl group transfer in all animal species. It is particularly important in monogastric animals and fish that cannot rely on rumen microbial synthesis. Our 1% diluted product on maltodextrin carrier provides precise and safe dosing in premix applications.
